Video notes: Going West, ‘Trek’ style

It’s not every day you run across the perfect Christmas gift while compiling the weekly DVD calendar for Weekender. But I think I found it.

No, it’s not “Scrambled Sex: Erotic Cinema of Early ’80s Cable,” a two-disc set that includes the soft-core classics “Loves of Lady Chatterley,” “Honey,” “Moonlighting Mistress” and my favorite title, “Sorry Wrong Bedroom.” Although that’s not a bad, uh, stocking stuffer.

It’s something that’s better than sex — at least for hard-core fans of the original “Star Trek” TV series. Released Tuesday, and featuring one of the greatest DVD covers of all time, “Trek Stars Go West” compiles vintage TV Western appearances by William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, James Doohan and DeForest Kelley. Just the cover images of a pigtailed Nimoy and Doohan as perhaps the first Scottish Indian have to be worth the price, even if the two-disc set really bites.

How can you pass up Nimoy alongside Dan Blocker in a 1960 episode of “Bonanza”? Or Doohan sharing screen time with Lon Chaney Jr. in a 1957 episode of “Last of the Mohicans”? Or going way, way back to Kelley’s role in a 1949 episode of “The Lone Ranger”?
